Track List:
Feelin Like'
한탕 (One Shot)
The Game
Call My Name
관람차 (Sparkling Night)
Bad
I have the Nouveau version and I love how it's all packaged, it gives off a luxury and high end vibe, it's definitely one of my favourite in the way it's packaged.
The photo book was one of the main reasons I wanted to get my hands on this version first, I love it, it's like a high end fashion magazine, it's really simplicity at it's best.
The album itself is amazing, this album from start to finish is a masterpiece, if Girls' Generation hadn't made their comeback last year, then this album would have been my No.1 album of 2022. Seeing the songs live too made it even more of a masterpiece for me, I definitely look forward to their next album.
I only need to look at the Feelin' Like title and I automatically get the melody in my head, this is definitely one of my favourite title tracks from PENTAGON. For me this is one of those songs that never fails to get me singing and dancing along.
Feelin' Like
Are you ready? I love how 한탕 (One Shot) starts because it sounds like it's going to be a completely different song, then the beat kicks in. I love how well their voices sit within the melody, it blends together perfectly.
한탕 (One Shot)
I can't put into words how truly perfect and mesmerising The Game is, if PENTAGON want me to play, I willingly volunteer and accept. From the operatic start, this song takes you on a ride that you never want to get off. I think vocally this was the song that really blew me away, this song made me think move over Hui, Jinho is here.
The Game
I have a love/hate relationship with Call My Name, it's my favourite track on the album, but it taunts me because it's always stuck in my head. Last year at the MIK Festival, I got to see them perform it live and even with 18 songs after it, walking back to our hotel, all I kept singing was Call My Name. You may also recognise parts of the song and that's because PENTAGON sampled Blackstreet's No Diggity. I really recommend this track, you won't be disappointed.
Call My Name
I love how bright and upbeat 관람차 (Sparkling Night) sounds, I love the melody, the song itself sounds so magical and mystical. The vocals and raps just add that extra spark to it.
관람차 (Sparkling Night)
The melody at the start of Bad is stunning and I love the vocals and the raps, they fit so perfectly together, I don't think I ever stop being in awe of their rapping and vocal skills.
Bad
It's now been a year since PENTAGON released this album and I still can't get over how amazing it is, it's still one of my go to albums, and if you're not familiar with PENTAGON, I suggest you give this album a try.
I definitely thank my friend Mary for continuing to push their music and content on me, because otherwise, I would have missed out on a masterpiece.
I hope we don't have to wait much longer for a new album, but I guess you can't rush talent and perfection.
